Question
What Purdue Boilermaker scored 19 touchdowns in one season to lead the nation?

Answer
Carl, hello again!

I found the following website for you to explore.  I still can't find the individual player that scored 19 TD's in one season for the Boilermakers, but will keep looking.

Carl, I couldn't find anyone scoring 19.

The record is:

Bob Griese quarterbacked the Boilermakers from 1964 to 1966 and scored 14 rushing touchdowns during his college career.

Drew Brees equaled the 14 rushing touchdowns mark while running the Boilermaker offense from 1997 to 2000.

Both quarterbacks culminated their years in a Purdue football uniform with a Rose Bowl appearance in Pasadena California, QB Bob Griese (1967) and QB Drew Brees (2001).


If I can locate the player that scored a total of 19, I will contact you again.

Take care,

Thom Brooks
